Chapter 129 Betrayal
"You're right. They don't agree with something so certain. They probably have some issues."
Lawyer Qin replied to the middle-aged woman, then left to continue chatting with the muscular man. The middle-aged woman gave Lin Xi a look and also walked towards the model. Because the middle-aged woman had acted completely clueless yesterday and asked the model several questions, which the model had answered, the middle-aged woman had become subtly dependent on the model, practically following her lead.
Lin Xi could still hear the middle-aged woman's somewhat hesitant voice: "Oh, what should I do? Thanks to you, you are such a kind person. Auntie doesn't know what to do."
The model didn't really like being so close to the middle-aged woman, but she knew that at times like this, forming a small group would at least ensure she wasn't voted out. So, even though she wasn't happy about it, she still managed to force a smile and talk to the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, don't worry too much. We definitely won't vote you out."
She also felt that even the Wolf Team would not attack the middle-aged woman, because this kind of white guy would not pose a threat to them even if he stayed, but she didn't understand why Lawyer Qin was not killed last night. Lawyer Qin looked strong and smart, and he had thrown out a wolf yesterday. If she was a Wolf Team, she would definitely attack Lawyer Qin directly.
Why wasn’t Lawyer Qin killed... A sense of uneasiness flashed through the model’s mind. Could it be that Lawyer Qin was really a treacherous person, and they were all misled yesterday and voted out a good guy?
The model swallowed and looked at the voiceover, who had remained silent. Yesterday, the voiceover hadn't raised his hand either, clearly doubting what Lawyer Qin was saying. And now, it seemed like Lawyer Qin was slowly clearing out those who hadn't stood by her yesterday. In this situation, seeking help from others was the right thing to do.
She looked at the middle-aged woman next to her again, thought for a moment, and covered her stomach: "Auntie, my stomach hurts a little, can you accompany me to the toilet?"
The middle-aged woman immediately showed her concern: "What's wrong? Is everything okay? Auntie will go with you!"
The model's acting wasn't very good, even worse than Lin Xi's. Lin Xi, watching from the side, noticed this. She clearly wanted to take the middle-aged woman to say something that couldn't be heard by everyone, but before leaving, she glanced at Lawyer Qin, presumably because she didn't want to be overheard.
Lin Xi had a good sense of empathy and was very good at putting herself in other people's shoes, so she had a good idea of what the model was thinking. She was so afraid of Lawyer Qin that she even pulled him away from the group to talk. It was obvious that she was going to say something unfavorable to Lawyer Qin.
The model probably doubts Lawyer Qin.
The voice actor didn't raise his hand last night, and he probably didn't trust Lawyer Qin very much; the gangster who seemed to be tough on the outside but weak on the inside finally started fighting, which shows that he is actually a ruthless person. On the surface, he seemed to be intimidated by Lawyer Qin, but in fact he didn't raise his hand, so he didn't obey Lawyer Qin.
Taking into account the model and the middle-aged woman who turned against us, maybe we can vote out Lawyer Qin tonight.
Of course, if Lawyer Qin still controlled the apparent right to speak, he might vote out Miss Fan or the silent man that night. So who should he choose to vote for? Lin Xi felt that things were getting interesting.
She made a cup of tea and sat in the corner, resting her hands on her legs and leaning back in a relaxed manner. Shen Sangning couldn't appear in front of outsiders, but she could still communicate with Lin Xi. She quietly extended her fingers from Lin Xi's sleeve and touched the center of Lin Xi's palm.
Shen Sangning's fingertips were too cold, and when they landed on Lin Xi's palm, Lin Xi felt a little itchy.
She moved her fingertips, making Lin Xi want to clasp her hand. Fortunately, before clasping her hand, Lin Xi discovered that Shen Sangning was writing. She wrote very slowly, but each stroke was clear. Lin Xi followed the movement of her fingers in his heart and slowly traced, writing out each word:
[Wife, do you want to keep watching like this? The initiative is in other people's hands, which will make you passive. ]
Lin Xi laughed and answered in a low voice as if talking to herself: "Ningning, you are right."
She looked up at Lawyer Qin who was talking to the muscular man. "It's boring to be a spectator all the time. How about I perform tonight? Remember to rate my performance then."
Shen Sangning made a smiling face on Lin Xi's palm, obviously very happy to see Lin Xi perform for her.
A short while later, the middle-aged woman and the model returned. As they passed Lin Xi, the middle-aged woman winked at him, as if wanting to chat with him alone. But Lin Xi simply smiled, as if he hadn't noticed. In reality, Lin Xi felt that as wolves, it was better not to hang out together all the time.
The middle-aged woman sighed, her face showing some worry.
As a spectator, Lin Xi watched the model's every move. After she spoke a few words to the middle-aged woman, she walked into the restaurant. Lin Xi knew that the dubbing was probably sitting inside the restaurant, but there was a partition blocking her view. After that, Lin Xi had no idea what happened.
I don’t know, but Lin Xi can guess that it is most likely about overthrowing Lawyer Qin.
In the afternoon, Lin Xi took a nap on the table. She hadn't slept well the previous night. Unlike those ghosts, she wasn't someone who needed sleep. She was still human, and she couldn't afford to not sleep. She didn't worry about ghosts doing anything to her. If they were planning to kill her while she was asleep, Shen Sang Ning would definitely flip the table and put an end to the fun.
Lin Xi slept quite well this time, but when she woke up, she found her arms were a little numb. There was nothing she could do about it, because sleeping with her arms on was not good, it would easily make her arms numb. Lin Xi yawned, moved her arms to relieve the numbness, and then glanced at her watch, which showed that it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
Lin Xi had slept for at least two hours, but she still felt a little sleepy. Sometimes it was like that: the more you slept, the sleepier you felt. She yawned several times and took a quick look around. Well, who knew what had happened while she was asleep, but the two men and women, who had a relatively low profile, had also come down and were now sitting on a sofa not far away.
It’s just that the two of them sat far apart and their faces didn’t look good. They probably found out that they had been put on Lawyer Qin’s exclusion list.
Lin Xi squinted her eyes and woke up for a while. When her mind was fully clear, she stood up and simply walked around the first floor. Lawyer Qin, the model, the middle-aged woman, and the muscular man were all sitting at the dining table. They were no longer chatting, but were each doing their own thing.
The model was trying on makeup for herself, and would wipe it off if she wasn't satisfied with the makeup she had just applied; Lawyer Qin was writing and drawing in a notebook with a frown on his brow, and no one knew what he was doing; the middle-aged woman found a needle and thread from somewhere and was embroidering on a handkerchief; the muscular man was even more in tune with his image, holding a handgrip, squeezing and relaxing it continuously.
This scene felt familiar. Lin Xi was stunned for a moment before remembering that his three night shift colleagues had done the same thing at the funeral home. Ghosts seemed to repeat themselves when they were bored.
Lin Xi guessed that it was probably because ghost life was boring.
Ghosts don't have cell phones or computers. Even if they have a TV, they can't watch it because the TV shows are all about ghosts. If you don't find something to do at this time, you will be so bored that mushrooms will grow on your head.
Lin Xi couldn't accept such a boring life. If she did the same thing day after day, she would probably go crazy.
Lin Xi looked at the others again. Dubbing was leaning against the bay window, reading a book. It wasn't a novel, but more like a book on vocal techniques, because he made small noises and occasionally pinched his throat. The gangster didn't see anyone and didn't know where he went.
Seeing Lin Xi coming over, the middle-aged woman greeted her warmly: "Lin Xi, do you want to come over and sit for a while?"
"No, I'm just a little thirsty, come and get a glass of water." Lin Xi rejected the middle-aged woman's kindness and went into the kitchen to add some water to the cup in her hand. The middle-aged woman's acting skills were really good. The model looked a little uncomfortable, but the middle-aged woman did not show any strange expression, as if she was still in the same group as Lawyer Qin.
It turns out that as you live longer, your acting skills will improve.
The atmosphere was still relaxed and friendly, but it wouldn't last long. After Lin Xi finished dinner that evening, the atmosphere became tense, as if the restaurant was filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder. At some point, everyone sat down at the table.
Everyone's movements showed a certain resistance to each other. Li Lana had told her that many gestures express resistance. For example, unconsciously crossing one's arms across one's chest, leaning back to create distance, arms forming a defensive wall, indicating a desire to avoid closeness. Or, for example, suddenly raising one's hand to support one's cheek, facing the other, while sitting next to the person, indicating a desire to distance oneself from the person next to them...
When Li Lana was talking, she would also make some gestures for Lin Xi, so Lin Xi was deeply impressed. Now this group of people made such gestures.
Finally, the gangster couldn't stand it anymore and said, "So what should we say now? It won't take a few hours.
It's almost time to vote. Two of us have already died. We have to find a way to catch the Wolf Team members, right?" He looked at Lawyer Qin and continued, "You talked a lot yesterday. Why haven't you started yet today?"
Lawyer Qin glanced at him and raised his glasses: "It's not time yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Miss Fan scoffed at Lawyer Qin, "When will that time come? You seem so confident. Do you already have someone you want to vote for?"
The word "again" is very insightful, directly identifying the gloomy man as the person Lawyer Qin wants to invest in. Lawyer Qin frowned and was about to say something when he saw Lin Xi, who was sitting not far from him, suddenly said, "In that case, I do have a suspicion."
